What is our purpose here on earth? Sometimes we may find ourselves asking this question or a similar one, but thankfully, the Bible provides a clear answer.
"You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet."
Matthew 5:13 (ESV)
What do you think it means that we are the salt of the earth? What is God calling us to do?
When we add salt to our food, it makes food "come alive" and taste good. Imagine eating bread, cookies, popcorn, and a bowl of soup without salt. Just as salt is an integral part of the foods we eat, God is calling us to be the salt of the earth—to be an integral part of helping God's Kingdom grow and come alive in Him!
